rustup update doesn't give the same info as rustup update [toolchain]

[ghost]

Not sure if this is intended or not, but it caused me a bit of confusion for a second.
rustup version: rustup 1.6.0 (a11c01e8c 2017-08-30)

Example rustup udpate:

It ended up being that I didn't have enough space (only 300MB left), but getting the info on why an error occurred, even if they are different for different toolchains, would still be helpful.
I haven't tested what it says if you only have one toolchain installed, so I'm not completely sure in that situation; #1243 seems to suggest that it still happens, though.

Interesting, i fixed the disk space thing, now im getting a different error, this one specifically about renaming the directories. Not sure what is going on.

edit: removing the conflicting library fixed it, just not sure why it occurred in the first place.

[rbtcollins]

This is another instance of missing/corrupt manifest data. Without knowledge of the installed file, rustup cannot remove it prior to installing the updated version, and then hits a conflict due to the file already existing, and you get the error.

We've got a bunch of these bugs scattered all over the place, I'm closing them all to bring order. See #2417.

The first thing you posted showed the error right before checking for self-updates:

error: could not copy file from '/home/ayyy/.rustup/tmp/bbi39d8llvgw6o7z_dir/rustc/lib/librustc_data_structures-9e9d3520f52f8728.so' to '/home/ayyy/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/librustc_data_structures-9e9d3520f52f8728.so'

And after that you were in trouble - see the bug I've linked for details.
